Chapter 172: Green smoke from the ancestral grave
Zhao Lei came out of the Ji Mansion and was in a good mood.
There seemed to be a dawn in front of him.
The future is bright!
was immersed in it, and suddenly rode in front of Ji Zhai and dismounted beside Zhao Lei.
At the head of the pack is a man in a flying fish suit.
Zhao Lei was taken aback, and when he looked at it, it was Jinyi Wei who commanded Fu Rang!
"I've seen the servant." Zhao Lei hurriedly gave a salute with a humble attitude.
The conductor is a fourth-grade officer, five grades higher than him!
What's more, this person is still the son of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo.
However, how could such a big man as Fu Rang come to visit Ji Gang?
Zhao Lei looked up and saw that Fu Rang was followed by several entourages, also carrying gift boxes in their hands.
Fu Rang just snorted, his expression was proud, and he didn't even pay attention to who the person who greeted him was.
just led his entourage into the Ji Mansion.
Zhao Lei didn't dare to complain in the slightest, just envy.
Even Fu Rang came to visit Ji Gang, which made him feel that he had hugged the right thigh.
......
"Congratulations Brother Ji!"
Seeing Ji Gang, Fu Rang didn't have the proud look in front of the door just now, and smiled.
Ji Gang stood up and said with a smile: "Master Fu, what kind of wind has blown you, take a seat quickly!" β
Fu let him take a seat.
Ji Gang took the gift list handed over to him, and said with a respectful expression: "It's too precious, how can the subordinate He De dare to accept it?" β
As he spoke, he ordered someone to serve tea.
In front of Ji Gang, Fu Rang did not have the slightest sense of superiority of the noble children.
He was the third son of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo.
is also Fu Youde's son, but the status gap between him and his brother Fu Zhong is very large.
Fu Youde's eldest son, Fu Zhong, will not only inherit the title of Duke of Yingguo in the future, but also marry Princess Shouchun, the ninth daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even if Ji Gang is a big celebrity around the emperor's grandson, if it is Fu Zhong, he may not be too lazy to deal with Ji Gang.
Fu Rang is different, he is a concubine, relying on his father's merits to mix an official and a half-position in the palace.
If you don't work hard, you will be an official and a half-job in the future.
So he wanted to befriend Ji Gang and surrender himself to visit.
Seeing that Ji Gang was quite polite, Fu Rang was quite useful in his heart.
My heart is also full of emotion.
Ji Gang, this kid, was promoted to a thousand households at a young age.
is worthy of being the person valued by the emperor's grandson!
Everyone knows that after a hundred years of Emperor Hongwu, the imperial grandson will succeed to the throne, and Ji Gang will inevitably take charge of Jinyiwei!
It's time to make friends, but it's too late!
Officialdom focuses on early-stage investment, all based on vision and friendship.
The two spoke affectionately and soon became brothers.
Ji Gang also wants to make friends with the sons of Xun Gui, not to mention that Fu Rang is his boss.
Fu Rang said with a smile: "Today, in addition to saying hello to Brother Ji, my brother also wants to invite my brother to the banquet of Yingguogong, and my father's sixtieth birthday will be five days later." β
Hearing this, Ji Gang was shocked.
I didn't expect Fu Rang to appreciate himself so much, and even invited him for such a major event as Yingguogong's birthday.
"Xiaguan must be! Certain! Ji Gang said continuously.
Fu Youde, the founder of the country, is now one of the three pillars of the Ming military.
The son married the princess.
The daughter married the prince of Jin as a concubine.
The Duke of Yingguo celebrates his 60th birthday, and those who will go when the time comes, they must all be relatives of the emperor, nobles of the imperial court, and hundreds of civil and military officials.
I am a small family.......
Ji Gang knew that this was Fu Rang lifting him.
In officialdom, connections are a huge asset!
Not to mention being promoted two levels in a row, it has to be appreciated by Shangguan so much, it seems that his spring has come.
Ji Gang was overjoyed, feeling that the ancestral tomb was smoking.
However, he didn't have a smug look on his face, and he was still polite to Fu Rang.
Seeing that, Fu Rang nodded secretly, and said in his heart that this kid is a calm person.
"By the way, Brother Ji, I heard that you haven't married yet?"
Ji Gang smiled awkwardly: "Xiaguan has never been married. β
Twenty-four-year-old bachelors were really rare in ancient times, especially those who were organized.
Fu Rang smiled: "Brother Wei knows a lot of official ladies, why don't you go back to the old man to bring one to you?" β
Ji Gang replied respectfully: "Master Lao is bothered, and I am dissatisfied with you for saying that Xia Guan has a fiancΓ©e in his hometown, and he is going to marry him after the New Year." β
"It's a good thing, Fu congratulated Brother Ji in advance."
"Master Xie cultivates, Ji Gang will keep it in mind!"
Both were delighted.
Fu Rang's gaze at Ji Gang softened, thinking that this Ji Gang was a smart person.
Continue to drink tea and chat.
Seeing Ji Gang looking intently at the flying fish suit on his body, Fu Rang smiled and said, "Brother Ji likes it?" β
"Such a gorgeous and noble robe, of course I like it."
Ji Gang sighed, like a small boss who had just started a business, and saw a sports car that pulled the wind.
I imagined that I would be able to buy one in the future.
Fu Rang stood up, and in Ji Gang's surprised expression, he took off his flying fish suit.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
"Don't dare, don't dare! The lower officials don't dare! β
Ji Gang hurriedly waved his hand: "The flying fish suit given by the emperor, how dare the lower officials accept it?" β
Fu Rang put the flying fish suit on the tea table and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just me who gave it to you." β
Can this also be transferred?
Ji Gang was a little confused.
Fu Rang nodded and said, "Some things can be transferred, and some things cannot." β
Swords and clothes can be given away.
Of course, like the Danshu iron coupon, something that represents the honor of the family, can never be transferred.
It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty once gave Wei Juan a sword, and Wei Juan said that the first emperor had given six swords.
Emperor Han Jing asked: You didn't sell it for money?
Wei Wanhui: It's all at home.
Judging from the records, what the emperor rewarded could be given away and sold.
The seventy-first chapter of "Golden Vase Plum" written by the Ming Dynasty also has a similar situation: a eunuch surnamed He gave Ximen Qingfei a fish suit.
Ximen Qing replied: "How can the students wear the clothes of the old gentleman's ministry?" β
Eunuch He said: "Adults only care about wearing, what are you afraid of!" Yesterday Long Live gave me a python robe, and I won't wear him anymore, so I'll send adults to cover my clothes. β
The author of "Golden Vase Plum" was a person in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, borrowing people from the Song Dynasty to write about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
In the late Ming Dynasty, even ordinary people could embroider dragon patterns on their clothes.
Of course, in the early Ming Dynasty, the rules were still quite strict.
Fu Rang reminded again and again: "You can wear it at home, and don't show off outside." β
Ji Gang thanked him for his kindness, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, the lower officials dare not trespass, just treat it as a collection." β
He liked the flying fish suit too much, so he accepted it half-pushed.
Anyway, there is no shortage of Yingguo Mansion......
The two said a few more words, and Fu Rang was about to leave.
Ji Gang was sent all the way out of the house and watched him leave.
After Fu Rang left.
Ji Gang held the flying fish suit in his hand and smiled openly.
"I didn't expect that I Jigang would also have this day, it was really an ancestor who appeared!"
Saying that, he couldn't wait to put on the flying fish suit and sat down on the Taishi chair.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, it's time to go back to my hometown in Shandong."
By the way, see if the ancestral grave is smoking......
Ji Gang's family is one of the poorest families in the local Su'andian.
Just because his father went early, his mother pulled him to the end.
didn't even have money to study, but the neighbors pooled the money to let Ji Gang go to social studies.
Ji Gang went to participate in the county and government examinations, which were also funded by large local households, and they should be investments.
As a result, Ji Gang didn't even get into the show, and he was expelled from social studies for causing trouble.
At that time, Ji Gang secretly swore that when he came out in the future, he would definitely repay the kindness of the villagers!
Even the big yellow dog at the head of the village has to be arranged.
It's just because Ji Gang used its dog basin to eat back then!
